This is a 10* play on the Twins.

Minnesota took the first game of this series and then Chicago returned the favor yesterday. But with what we feel to be the far superior pitcher on the mound today, we're going to back the Twins to find a way to get the job done at the end of the day.

Kenta Maeda was sharp in his final tuneup before the regular season, going five innings, throwing 85 pitches and allowing three runs and posting seven K's.

Reynaldo Lopez was 10-15 with a 5.38 ERA for the White Sox last year and the best thing we can say about him is that he's able to "eat" innings.

In this clear "mismatch on the mound," we're laying the short price with the Twins.

Good luck, NP
